Proton VPN on Linux looks very different from Windows. How do you select one of their P2P options for faster torrenting? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Pretty much what the title says. I noticed that ProtonVPN Linux has an EXTREMELY limited interface compared to their program on Windows. I also do not appear to have the option to bind qBittorrent to ProtonVPN the same way that I did with MullvadVPN. Has anybody experienced ProtonVPN on Linux and successfully used it for torrenting? It's nowhere near as simple as on Windows, from the looks of it.

As an FYI to readers, port forwarding with ProtonVPN on Linux can be done, just with a little extra effort.

Yep, and if you’re using docker, gluetun can make it fairly easy to set up portforwarding, then you can call the API from the qbit container to update the port forwarded setting.
